Fat lion pair by Synkka~, on Flickr

Great shot

Cheers, they are very fat after a night feed, lions are not very graceful climbing trees!

I am proud of my Otter shot, because it required alot of crawling through the snow to get within range of making a decent photo, this was the first Otter I encountered in my life and the bugger was awesome enough to come gallivanting out of the shallows and run at me.

Taken with a Canon Rebel T1i, Canon 70-300mm IS HSM and lots of patience.

More of an oddity, than a "best shot". White kangaroo. Normally a dark grey, or light brown, like the one next to it (an Eastern Grey). It's not an albino, as they have pink skin / eyes. We have a few like this, not many.

Some recent ones from the San Francisco Zoo. 5D3, 100-400L @ 400mm, handheld, ambient light.

I have to agree.

 

[Jack Douglas]

Seriously, it's recommended that you avoid eye contact with these males. I don't think running would work!
